Developing Virtuosity Method for Teaching Strings

Teachers consistently choose the Developing Virtuosity viola series, with Book 3 leading adoption across studios. The violin and cello volumes follow closely, offering parallel pedagogical structure that makes it easy to teach mixed-string ensembles. Each book includes both score and part, ready to use immediately in lessons.

Lynne Latham brings a composer's sensibility to string pedagogy across all 12 titles in this collection. Her Developing Virtuosity series balances technical development with musicianship, creating material that engages students beyond basic finger exercises. Book 3 for viola has become a staple in studios nationwide.

Thom Sharp and Gayley Hautzenroeder round out the creative team, contributing arrangements and compositions that extend the pedagogical reach of the method across all four string instruments.
